Edgell Sauerkraut

Edgell is a cornerstone of the Australian food industry, renowned for its wide variety of canned and frozen vegetables. The brand was founded by Robert Gordon Edgell in 1926 in Bathurst, New South Wales, and initially focused on asparagus before expanding its range. Today, while Edgell remains a household name in Australia, specific products like this Sauerkraut are sourced and manufactured in Poland to leverage traditional European production methods and high-quality cabbage supplies.

The brand has undergone several changes in ownership throughout its century-long history. In the 1990s, it became part of Simplot Australia, a subsidiary of the American J.R. Simplot Company. This transition integrated Edgell into a massive global food processing network, ensuring its longevity in the competitive retail market. As of 2026, the brand remains under the stewardship of J.R. Simplot, maintaining its position as a leading provider of shelf-stable and frozen plant-based foods for Australian consumers.
